Artistic Picture Framing — Local services in Berkeley

If I could give Artistic Picture Framing more than five stars, I would! Twice, Rodolfo took an art work I had, applied his phenomenal talent and married a frame to both the art and the environment in which I was hanging the art.

Several years ago, Rodolfo, at Artistic Picture Framing, framed a large Picasso "style" contemporary portrait of a woman for me to work in a room with 18th century French antiques. He created a frame that married the two time periods and I continue to love it.

And last month, I brought a signed Leroy Neiman Bengal Tiger serigraph, measuring just under 3' by 4', that I wasn't enjoying in its original simple silver frame, into Rodolfo. He had me bring photos of where I was going to hang the Tiger, this time in a contemporary setting on a large dark wall. Again, Rodolfo applied his artistry to creating a perfect frame for this piece and for its setting. He carefully matched the matting to the border of artwork, enlarging the light border to help the tiger "pop" on the dark wall. And he picked up the gold color from the room it is now hanging in on the exquisite frame and in the thin spacer between the artwork and the mat. From an artwork I barely liked, thanks to Rodolfo's talent, my Bengal Tiger is now my favorite artwork.

Rodolfo gets my strongest recommendation. I originally was concerned by the price of the frame, but Rodolfo's frames, with their high quality and artistry, are more than...

Rodolfo at Artistic Picture Framing is a joy to work with; so talented, warm, creative & helpful. First off, I had a piece that needed a little repair, but it's heavy, and I'm disabled. Rodolfo came to my house to pick it up, and delivered it back (along with my two new pieces) with a whole new frame! The other art that I brought in was tricky to frame in order to really bring out the balance in the colors without overwhelming the eye, or making them look monochromatic. Rodolfo has such skill in diving right in and suggesting various textures & colors for mats & frames. He is enthusiastic without being overbearing & also letting the customer know the price ranges of the materials they are looking at so there isn't sticker shock. He does not try and upsell and will work with in your budget. I am on a tight budget and I ended up with some spectacular art!

Both recent pieces are breathtaking. I'm very happy with his work and extra special customer service!He also very fun to work with! I'm excited to have another framing adventure...

I had six prints framed at Artistic Picture Framing. I needed precision and uniformity, as the pictures were going to be displayed as a set, and this business exceeded my expectations. The framer helped me choose a color that brought out key elements in the artwork, but that didn't distract from the subject matter. He also helped me select a frame style that went with my kitchen cabinets, yet still enhanced the prints. Artistic Picture Framing delivered a quality product and I will definitely use this business again. The cherry on top of the sundae came in the form of a referral from the framer for a professional art installer. If you've ever tried to hang 6 pictures in 2 even rows of 3, then you KNOW you want to outsource that job to a professional art installer!!! Thank you, Artistic Picture Framing, for excellent work and service from...
